Hi Ahmed,
In a sub-module, I have a assembly.xml file (maven-assembly-plugin) that I

You can do this using the expression "${project.basedir}/../.." or however
many directory levels up you need to go.
Something like this:
<!-- Include documents in toplevel directory. -->
<fileSet>
<directory>${project.basedir}/../..</directory>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>LICENSE*</include>
<include>NOTICE*</include>
<include>README*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
Of course, this requires the toplevel aggregator/parent project to be
present as part of your working copy. In an ideal world, you would not
include references upstream like this, but rather include everything needed
for the assembly as part of the project in question. Then the build will
function even if only that specific project is available.
Regards,
Curtis
